Prs Measurements/specs (mccarty Style)

[Roadhouse Blues]

Hello,

I searched the forums for PRS measurements/templates(McCarty Model), and I emailed members who had measurements, but they havent posted for years and didn't respond. I was wondering if anyone had any specifics that I may be missing (though I've already almost completed my temples) that you have found on the forum

Even if you can't answer that, would you think that for a PRS style guitar 1" for a mahogany back and 3/4" for a figured maple top would be good measurements?

Thanks for anything you guys have

OK no one seems to be answering, can you just tell me what thicknesses the the Mahogany should be with a 3/4" piece of maple on top that will be contoured? If you don't know for a PRS, maybe tell me for a Les Paul or similar guitar what thickenss you think the mahogany would be.

My mcCarty is 1" Mahogany and 3/4 " Maple

I was searching as best as I could, and I saw here

that you said 1 1/2" and 1/2". Which one would you suggest? I'm guessing that mine will be sufficient for a non-trem guitar. So is it as you just said, with 1" and 3/4" being good, or what you said in that other post?

Thanks Scott!

Go with the 1" back and 3/4" top. I have read that PRS has used 1 1/4" backs with 3/4" tops. Intil Scot responded that's what I thought the dimensions were, giving you ~2" at the center, similar to a LP.
